The 1st of December is my birthday and always marks the beginning of the Prabhupada Marathon.

This time I was intending to spend almost the entire month in Chittagong - a lively yatra with around 70 brahmacaris which has meanwhile become temple number one in Bangladesh.The annual tradition is that I feed all the temple devotees with a special breakfast on the morning of the 1st of December, thus marking the beginning of the Book Marathon.What a wonderful way to serve and enthuse all the devotees.....And for the first time I was introducing this tradition here in Chittagong.
